Sutter managed to destroy the value of the only impact draft pick he has. Bad contract, bad trade. We'd have been way better off with $6.5M cap space + 4 1st rounders if anyone wanted to sign Phaneuf to an offer sheet than 4.2M + Hagman and the rights to RFA White.
Nobody liked Hagman's contract when the Leafs signed it, so I don't know why we'd like it now. We got a bunch of second liners when what we really need is a 1st liner. We're displacing guys who were finally getting the opportunity they've earned.
Uggh. Sarich for future considerations would've given us just about the same amount of cap space as this deal.

everyone on 960 said that the Hagman signing was a great one by Toronto...not sure where a 25-30 goal man at 3 million is bad; seems about par for the market
